it's not too bad if you work from the documents and only
glance at other implementations for the undocumented bits,
and do the name service -- if needed -- by adding an interface to the existing
one instead of including a privately hacked copy of BIND (well,
that's what it looked like to me at the time).

as these things go it's possibly easier and more worthwhile than NFS.
as a protocol it's a bit silly because it mixes everything together.

I really don't think it would be that bad.
Certainly better than say vga.
